Treatment



There are different options for treatment depending on if and where the cancer has spread:
  • Radiation therapy can be used before or after therapy to either shrink the tumor or get rid of remaining cancer cells. It uses high energy rays to kill the cancer cells

  • Surgery can be effective when the cancer is only in a small area and is able to be cut out
  • Chemotherapy uses chemicals to destroy cancer cells. It prevents the infected cancer cells from dividing and spreading throughout the body.external image Chemotherapy11.jpg
